Mia Farrow's brother, John Charles Villiers-Farrow, has been arrested in Maryland on child sex abuse charges.

WASHINGTON -- Mia Farrow's brother, John Charles Villiers-Farrow, has been jailed in Maryland on charges of sexually abusing two boys for years.

Villiers-Farrow, 66, who lives in Edgewood, Md., is charged with sexual abuse of a minor, perverted practice and child abuse stemming from incidents that took place from 2000 to 2008, police said. He is accused of sexually abusing two men who at the time of the abuse, were "between the ages of eight until their early teens," according to a media release put out by the Anne Arundel Police Department.

According to the police statement, the investigation began in August, 2012, when "members of the Anne Arundel County Police Department’s Criminal Investigation Division Child Abuse Unit received information that a subject sexually abused several children in the Edgewater area of Anne Arundel County." Police ask that anyone else who may have been victimized to call them at 410-222-3484.

Villiers-Farrow, an occasional screenwriter, earned a bit of notoriety in the early 1990s when he criticized the love life of the director Woody Allen, who after splitting Mia Farrow began a relationship with her adopted daughter Soon-Yi Previn.
